   Seven nurses will graduate this afternoon when the thirty-fourth annual
commencement of the Brooklyn State Hospital Training School for Nurses will be
held in the auditorium of the hospital, Albany and Clarkson avenue. About 400

three years ago.
   Three prizes will be awarded. The scholarship prize, donated by Hugo HIRSH,
president of the Board of Visitors, will go to Miss Agnes Catherine GERMANN.
Miss Agnes FLANNERY will be awarded the efficiency prize. The Jennie V.
HEUMANN prize, donated by George HEUMANN in memory of his wife, who was a
graduate of the hospital, will be given to Miss Birdie MUKCARE.
   The other graduates are: Katherine GALLAGHER, Della O’DONNELL, Frances
WHITE, and Louise VANDEWATER.
   Mr. HIRSH will deliver the principal address. The valedictory will be
recited by Miss GERMANN. Dr. Carl LUPO, attending otorhinologist, will
distribute the prizes, and the diplomas and pins will be presented by Mrs.
Grace WILSON WHITEHALL, secretary of the Board of Visitors.
   Last night 250 persons attended the graduation dance of the school at the
parish hall of the Church of St. Catherine of Genoa, Albany avenue and Linden
boulevard.
   Graduates of the course have studied two years at the Brooklyn State
Hospital and one year at Bellevue Hospital and are eligible to be registered nurses.
